This is one of the most important issues of our time. It is also perhaps the most under reported. Net neutrality is about open and unimpeaded access to all resources on the internet. Providers like AT&T, Verizon, and Comcast are pressing Congress to pass regulations that give them the right to control access to and flow of information on the internet.
Net neutrality is the way the First Amendment of the Constitution is manifested on line. Access should remain free and open, without undue manipulation by those guided only by profit or those interested in limiting access.
Free and unencumbered access to information on the internet is fundimental to democratic expression. We all have a stake in this. We all need to engage in the dialogue about net neutrality and open access.
